TORONTO, ONTARIO - April 19, 2007 - McMillan Binch Mendelsohn LLP is pleased to announce it has signed an agreement with Bullfrog Power™ to use only 100 per cent green electricity for its power needs at its Toronto Client Service Centre.
Providing its customers with a new way to support renewable energy, Bullfrog Power™ sources clean power exclusively from wind and low-impact hydro generators.
McMillan Binch Mendelsohn's decision to become bullfrogpowered™ is part of the firm’s ongoing commitment to reduce its environmental impact by supporting renewable energy sources. Joining a growing list of Ontario businesses that have also become bullfrogpowered™, the firm is proud to be the first Bay Street law firm to purchase green power.
"McMillan Binch Mendelsohn has a long tradition of being at the leading edge of public policy matters," said Andy Kent, McMillan Binch Mendelsohn's Chief Executive Officer. "Today, in committing to buy green power, we are moving beyond the discussion and taking concrete action on a policy issue of international importance."
